Three Huskers Earn Big Ten Honorable Mention Awards on Offense

A receiver/back and two offensive lineman have earned honorable mention honors for the Big Ten conference. Given the state of the Husker offense this year, this was probably as much as we could hope for.

Jaimes is likely to be Nebraska’s highest draft pick this spring while Wan’dale has been the Huskers most consistent playmaker. Matt Farniok undertook a position change, from tackle to guard, for his senior year and has performed pretty admirably.

The complete list of all Big Ten awards (offense) is below. Defensive awards will be announced tomorrow, December 16.
